Western Zhou dynasty

The rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty can be divided into two parts: one part is the central bureaucratic system, which is responsible for managing the areas with the dynasty capital as the core; The other part is the local autonomous administrative system with vassals as the main body, which is responsible for managing vassal fiefs.

? In the central bureaucratic system, the higher-ranking official positions are: three public offices, six expensive offices and five official departments.

? The three fairs refer to the Taishi, Taifu and Taibao, which are the highest official positions in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Shi and Bao are official positions developed as the guards of the royal family, because their heirs are young, helping the monarch to govern princes and princes and take charge of military and political power.

? There are six Qing under the three fairs. The six departments of the Qing Dynasty include Taizai, Taizong, Taishi, Taishu, Taishi and Taishu, and their families are always called Qingshiliao. Among them, Taizai is in charge of state affairs, Taizong is in charge of rites and music, Taishi is in charge of calendar records, Shu Tai is in charge of prayer, Taishi is in charge of divination. Among them, because the three public officials are generally princes, and princes have to govern their own country, Taizai, who manages royal affairs, has become the most powerful official position in practice in the central government.

? There are also five senses under the three fairs. The five senses include Stuart, Sikong, Sima, Shi Si, and Scott. Among them, Si Tuleideng was in charge of land and agriculture, Sikong was in charge of fortifications, Sima was in charge of military affairs, Shi Si was in charge of Jue Lu, and Scott was in charge of punishment.

? In addition to Ji Wang, vassals were enfeoffed, and "Sifang" was also used to refer to vassals. These princes have different titles: Hou, Bo, Men and Dian. Hou and Bo refer to the larger princes, while Men and Dian refer to the smaller or remote princes.

? Among the vassal States, according to the central official position, there are Stuart, Sima, Sikong and Sikou. Stuart is in charge of household registration, people, Sima is in charge of the army, land, architecture and talents, and Scott is in charge of criminal affairs.

? Having written here, I have to say that the Western Zhou Dynasty was a great dynasty, and its rich culture, political thought and official system had a great influence on later generations, forming the cultural gene of China people.
